What's wrong with this if homepage then... code?

[damondicenzo]

<?php
$homepage = "/";
$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if($homepage!=$currentpage) {
echo "<iframe width='560' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/I8M_uCnxhwY?rel=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>";
}
?>

but it displays nothing :S

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

What is the value of [font=monospace]$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'][/font]?

The problem is with the iframe in the echo because it works without the iframe if i just input text :/.

Also I changed the code to:

if(is_home() ) {

echo "test";

} else {

echo "test2";

}

So the problem is not in the PHP, but in the HTML it generates.

Tested; the html works fine (i.e., I get an iframe with a youtube video in it).

what does the function [font=monospace]is_home()[/font] do?

p.s. please use the forum's [noparse]

[/noparse] BBCode tags and indent your code to make it easier to read : )[/i]

It's in a wordpress blog. So "home" is referring to the home page.

I tried fiddling around with it and have this now, that still doesn't work:

if(is_home() ) {

// nothing

} else {

function get_youtube($url){

$youtube = "http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=". $url .";

 }

$url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8M_uCnxhwY"; 

print_r(get_youtube($url));

}

Okay now if I go back to the original code it acknowledges a video is supposed to be there, but the iframe does not show up.

$width = 560;
$height = 315;
$code = "I8M_uCnxhwY";

$homepage = "/";
$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if($homepage!=$currentpage) {
echo '<iframe width=".$width." height=".$height." src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/'.$code.'" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>';
}

Pay attention to your syntax highlighting: see how the code changes colors (red text w/blue vars)? You've got an extra double-quote(") when you define [font=monospace]$youtube[/font] in your function, which is causing most of your code to be treated as part of that string. (Aside from that typo, you're also not returning anything from the function, so [font=monospace]print[/font]ing it is useless.)

You probably meant to do something like this?

<?php
// assuming is_home() returns TRUE or FALSE, yes?
if( !is_home() ){
    $code = "I8M_uCnxhwY";
    print get_youtube( $code );
}

function get_youtube( $code ){
    return "<iframe width='560' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/$code?rel=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>";
}

Yaaaa that's perfect. Thanks!

you're welcome.

I'm assuming that this might show various different videos?

If it only ever shows the one video, then it would be more efficient to simply print the iframe directly, rather than using a function to do it.
